Researched plane by plane. Sourced claim by claim.
PlaneFi researches Wi-Fi availability across the world's airline fleets and tracks it per individual aircraft — 16,000+ airplanes across 120+ airlines so far. Every status is backed by a named source, and traveler reports from real flights correct and confirm the research. No more guessing — know before you board.
Look up an airplane
Enter a flight number + date to find which airplane is operating your flight, or look up an aircraft registration (also called the tail number) directly.
Check Wi-Fi status
See PlaneFi's tracked Wi-Fi status for that exact aircraft, alongside speeds, reliability, and on-the-ground corrections from travelers who've actually flown on it.
Contribute back
After your flight, submit a quick report about the Wi-Fi experience. Every report helps fellow travelers know what to expect.
How PlaneFi works
Most "airline Wi-Fi" pages tell you what an airline generally offers. The problem: two aircraft on the same route, same airline, can have completely different Wi-Fi. So we track it the only way that's actually useful — by individual aircraft.
Per aircraft, by tail number.
Every record is tied to a specific aircraft registration (the tail number). When you look up a flight, we resolve it to the exact aircraft and show that aircraft's Wi-Fi — not an airline-wide average.
Researched, fleet by fleet.
PlaneFi's database is built by systematic research, one airline at a time. For each fleet we establish the actual aircraft from independent fleet data, then research every subfleet's Wi-Fi — airline statements, connectivity-provider announcements, reputable aviation press — and require at least two independent sources before a claim goes in. Rollouts are re-checked on a review cycle, not published once and forgotten.
Every status shows its source.
Like an encyclopedia, every report cites where it came from and when it was verified. You never have to take our word for it — the source is right there on the page.
Honest about what we don't know.
When an airline is mid-rollout and we can't confirm which specific aircraft are equipped, we hold that data back until it's verifiable. We'd rather show less than show something wrong.
